SUNDAY, JULY 13, 1958 ktr im ir hi WHEN YOU TAKE PICTURES at the beach be sure and guard against overexposure. The combination of sand and water reflects a greater amount of light than norm ally. Get in close and have your subjects doing something not just posing "at attention." Getting The Most Out Of Your 35 Millimeter Camera By JERRY FIELD, Back at the start of this series of columns I confessed that our family made movies as well as stills. Which is why, for our still pictures, we use a 35mm camera'. Both tvpes of cameras accept long rolls of low-cost film. With them both reloading's a some times thing. You can get 40 to 50 shots on a roll of movie turn with a little forethought and most films for a 35mm camera are sup plied in both 20-and 36-exposure lengths. Both types of cameras also have fast-seeing lenses that ask few favors of hem or subject Both have lenses assuring unusual depth of field . . . just about everything's sharp from way-up close to way-out-yonder. Both, too, are great at infighting. With them vou can really get those best of all shots closeups. And both produce small color transparencies you can show big and brilliant as all get out on a living-room screen which ii, my book is the only way to fully enjoy color pictures The one thing that a movie camera will do that a 35mm cam era will not is to record motion as motion. But the quick-shooting "35." unlike movie cameras and most still cameras, will com pletcly stop action thanks to shut ters that can shoot at nunaremns of a second There's another parallel. The color-transparency outputs of both a movie camera and a 35mm cam era are best enioved. not as in dividual pictures, but as part of a picture sequence ... a pic ture story. You shoot the same with them! Pick your picture subject, and let s see how it works A shore picnic? All right what's the storv? Chances are it starts at home as you load the car for the trip to the beach or lake. Here you noi only want to tell who is going along, but also what. So you snueeze off a couple of shots one showing your group, and the other, made much closer, of t he picnic hamper and other gear be ing loaded into the car. Then how did you go . . .'by what route? A shot of your car passing an easily read highway sign provides the answer and you might want to purposely use a slow shutter sDeed here so as to blur the car to indicate pace, while getting the sign sharp as can be. Then where did you go? An other sign should provide the title shot giving this information. And now you're there with everyone busy spreading robes, or sctung up beach umbrellas, or blowing HERALD ii jTymni i - v , V2 up tire tubes or filling sandbuckets at the water's edge. You don't lave to holt them verbally! Just set your 35mm camera to shoot fast and you II stop them photo graphically. You shoot, first, from well back to introduce the set ting . . . then up closer and clos er to highlight the different bits if action. There s lots of turn in your camera and this is what it is for. It a swimmer tests the wa ter with her toe before arching off & springboard, you can both focus way in to point up the first shot, and then fast-shutter the dive for full detail. When the picnic lunch is spread you won't make but one or two get-it-all-in shots, but ram er move in for closeups of a brief struggle with a jar top . . . hot dogs sizzling over the fire . the colorful salad being stirred the dessert being served. That's the way you saw it. And. with "35. that s the way you can shoot and show it. And, if the not idoy ends around a campfire, or before a sunset, your camera s got the lens speed to capture it for a fitting finale. Filming such as this takes fast shooting . . . certain snooting Which is exactly what a 35mm camera is designed to do! You can see what you're getting vith a "35." and know you're sharp-sighted on it, because most of them have built-in rangefinders which, when quickly focused to the eve. also focus the lens for you You can change shutter speeds so's to get plow or fast- action without a care for exposure ad iustment. because many 35 s have interlocking lens-and-shutler controls which, when one is changed, changes the other auto maticaily to compensate so your exposure remains constant lor whatever light you re shooting un der. You can shoot fast, without even taking the camera away from your eye to see whether you've advanced the film, because almost all "3.Vs" have double-exposure prevention you can't take one picture on lop oi anouier uuiess you intentionally set the camera in do it. And most. also, have a single integrated film-advance, shutter-cocking, and film-counter control. One swift motion and youi know you're all set for the next shot! Yup the 3"mm camera, .and the crisp color slides it makes, can really bring home the essence and the full flavor of every picture op portunity. That's why I like them. That's why. once you've tried them, you'U like 'em too sure as shootin'l AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON A.-isMPi - -.IX. i fii; vtmL... -(l fmn- ... im-i-h Tllllin f" T 1 THERE ARE LOTS OF GLOOMY DEPTHS for small fry to peer into, all well protected against accidental falls, in the Lava Beds National Monument south of Klamath Falls.

Better Management On SmaS Forest Properties Sought 'Public meetings will be- held this fall for all persons interested in getting better management on small forest properties." This an nouncement was issued jointly by L T. Webster, state supervisor of Natural Resources for Washing ton, Dwight L'. Phipps, state fores ter for Oregon, and . J. Herbert Stone, regional forester of the U.S. Forest Service. Meetings will be jointly sponsored by the Forest Service and the stales. A state wide meeting for Washington is scheduled for November 3 in Olym pia and a similar meeting for Oregon will be held in Salem on November 6. An important key to the store house of timber products so nec essary to the economic future of the Northwest is held by B3.000 owners of small forest properties in Washington and Oregon," said these foresters in a recent meeting at Portland. "About half of the pri vate commercial forest land in the two states is in small private holdings of less than 5,000 acres. These holdings account for 22 per cent of the total commercial forest land, and they embrace an area of about 10 million acres. Some of the most productive and accessible for est land in the Northwest is in this class of ownership. If popu lation continues to increase at the predicted rate, there will be nearly twice the present demand for wood products by the year 20O0. And if the Northwest is to meet its share of this future de mand. productivity of these small woodlands must be increased they added. Findings of a recent nationwide Save Time And Money UNIT OVERHAUL We have the precision equipment for complete overhaul of such units at Let Us Show You Today Juckeland Motors, Your International Dealer 11th and Klamath Ph. TU 2-2581 survey and study, made by the Forest Service in collaboration with state foresters, other public agencies, forest industries, and several private organizations, showed that the future need for wood will soar to new heights if America's growing population is to maintain its present standard of living. This study, recently released as a Forest Service publication. Timber Resources for America s Future." states that by the year 2000 jusf 42 years away and less than the me span of a tree this country will have 100 million more people than it has today. The study also revealed that forest lands in the small ownership category in Washington and Oregon are only 52 per cent as productive as they should be. 'Much progress has been made in the management of forest lands owned by the public and by in dustry," continued Webster, Phipps and Stone, but the timber-growing potential of lands in all owner ships is needed to meet future demands. If the small woodland properties meet their full poten tial the farmers and other owners will benefit, as well as the entire nation. "The meetings scheduled for November will explore whether (he framework of existing pro grams is adequate, whether they need to be modified, whether new approaches are needed, and how responsibuties can best be shared There has been substantial prog ress in tree planting, forest-fire control, and scientific management during recent years. But faster progress is needed." PAGE 5 D Largest Geode On Tree Farm One of the largest geodes ever discovered in Oregon exists on a Tree Farm near Kosler. The ge ode is a nodule of stone. Small ones the size of a tennis ball are fairly common, but this one is big enough to hold a man! The curiosity is situated in a well-managed stand of carefully thinned second-growth timber be ing cared for by the tree farmer under sustained-yield principles to produce repeated timber crops. Trees, he says, are the only crop nature intended for this steep, rocky land. BACKWARD CLOCK COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo. Wl Horological expert Alvin J. Lantz is giving clockwatchers here a rough time. Lantz has rigged up a unique clock. It keeps perfect time except that it runs backward. In scribed on the clock are the words: "Backward, turn backward, Oh Time in your flight."
